The news from Afghanistan that the Taliban Big Boss, no doubt after careful consideration, has decided to bring back stoning to death for women will doubtless induce a predictable unthinking response from some over-opinionated western females, who would probably be certain candidates for this punishment were they Afghans. But they shouldn’t be too dismissive of other cultures and instead look on the bright side, such as a much more peaceful existence for everyone.
Who knows, if the Green’s adopted this policy it could prove a huge vote winner given the trouble some of their female MPs have brought on their image.
They should be quick though less the current temporary Labour leader, whose name escapes me, swoops in first. He has unmatched form in constantly announcing new policies only then cancelling them, so it would be wasted on Labour. Furthermore, it fits the Green’s general policy agenda in having absolutely nothing to do with Green issues.
The only objection from their caucus I’d anticipate, would come from that ghastly little Mexican turd, Menendez-March, fearful for good reason of being mistaken as a female. Beginning with him/her would also fit the Green’s no waste policy as stones would be unnecessary, just pebbles in this case should do the job.
